... windsurfing have a forum section called "Wave Sailing". I would like to view, post and have all the directional crew in one place to help promote this style of kitesurfing.
Can it happen? ![]()
Great idea DaFinchy, from what I have seen on the SB lately - non surf/directional riders would be happy with this outcome.
this is a good idea, but it shouldn't be limited to strapless it should include all wave riding styles with a kite. (strapless, strapped directionals, mutants, surf TT's and skim) plus any other craft in the surf.
I have ZERO interest in reading posts about dangly dick tricks by guys wearing boots, and boardies over their wetsuits. Really wave riding and wakestyle are two seperate sports.
Also kite racing already has its own category so the precedent has been set.
The other forum (KF) has a section called Wave Kite, I think it would be great to have something like that on here as well.
You have been very quiet on this one Laurie.
I think a directional forum would be good - it may balance out some of the utterly directionless stuff.
Rumor on the beach is my name is being thrown around as a possible moderator for the new sub-forum... ![]()

i reckon keep everything as it is, there is a enough noise to filter out already without having to look at more sections. Maybe I just miss the days that most kiters did or were interested in all disciplines of the day, you didn't have the choice to buy a "specialist kite" or board that made you a primarily "one style" rider, and everyone was stoked with whatever was going down.
I don't mind the racers having a different section, there's a lot to discuss about which kit will more likely help you reach the podium and what crash diet to go on before events that are likely to be lighter wind. Oh, and how to remortgage your house for next years kit.. stuff like that....
"Really wave riding and wakestyle are two seperate sports." I can't think of anything more progressive than wakestying while riding waves.
